I got an anonymous comment on my blog that "You're connected to Reid Hoffman, so you're just editing your personal address book info for him, not his global contact info... This is part of their new "LinkedIn Contacts" / enhanced address book product..." Wow. If that's true, it is very confusing, and may classify as a "major bug" in user experience design :) But it's good that I can't change other people's contact info. I would argue that the entire purpose of an address book like LinkedIn is building is having contact info be maintained by the owner, not by me! That defeats the purpose of it completely. What are the rules of things the owner can edit, and what things I can edit, and what overrides what? Seems like a terrible mis-feature.
